The gig takes place on the same week as the previously announced Beatday-gig in Copenhagen. Mew will take the stage in Oslo on August 12th and it will be their ONLY summer festival in Norway […]

Chicago (state of Illinois) is called the “Windy City”, but apparently it’s no windier than most American cities. The city of three million inhabitants is one of the most polluted areas in US, though – Mew are surely going to bring some fresh air to Chicago when they take the stage at this year’s Pitchfork

It was not a big surprise that Mew would be booked to Roskilde Festival in Denmark this summer. The biggest rock festival in Nordic region has always been a significant supporter for local bands and Mew have played there many times before – even a decade ago when they were considered to be a small

Mew will play at the Japanese Summer Sonic Festival once again the following August (7.-9.) – and the festival is held in both Tokyo and Osaka in a way that the majority of bands play in both cities consecutive days (2-day festival). Now the festival is celebrating its 10th year and has expanded into three

People of Finland just heard some great news when Ruisrock announced their first slate of bands. On a list of (perhaps too) many metal acts, also Mew were announced. It’s been three years since Mew have played Finland and that show was Ruisrock 2006 (previously Mew have played this very same festival in 2003). The

Becky Jarrett was only 11 when she met Jonas Bjerre online and eventually they got to record Symmetry – a duet that was originally released in 2000 (Half the World Is Watching Me) and again three years later (Frengers) to a wider audience. Becky shares some of her thoughts to MewX.info, “I met Jonas on

Mew have been booked to Beatday Festival held in Copenhagen on August 14th-15th 2009. Beatday is a relatively small festival with less than 10 000 attendees and it was first established in 2007 when Mew were headlining the festival. There are two big stages at this Danish festival and at least 16 bands will be
